The computers were down world wide when we drove the two hours to Ft. Gordon and then were greeted with rude people (surprise) so we went two hours to Ft. Jackson and completed the mission....and had nice folks to deal with. Since we don't usually go to military installations, having the ID card expired wasn't an issue except for health insurance.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-85380076578983452402013-04-16T16:49:00.004-04:002013-04-16T16:49:00.004-04:00Lea, thanks!

Now I know why - I'm guilty of exceptional cruelty to a plant that deserves to grow in a warmer climate - yours is lovely.

Sure sounds like you have been busy! It is great that you were able to get together with Marian. (I must try to visit her blog. I remember the early days of blogging. I hadn't a clue!) I love the dainty blooms of the Pieris japonica 'Valley Rose'. I was reading just this evening that Aesculus pavia are hardy here. I may have to watch for one on my spring nursery trips.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.com
